Police officer allegedly commits suicide in Bondo

Officers at Luala-Kotiende Police Station in Bondo sub-county on Wednesday discovered the body of one of their colleagues hanging from the roof of his house.

They had reportedly gone to check on him after he failed to report to work.

According to Bondo sub-county police commander Martha Ngetich, the officer had been living with his two little children after his wife fled several weeks ago.

It is suspected that the incident occurred as a result of domestic problems.

Mrs. Ngetich told Citizen Digital that the officer left behind a suicide note but declined to reveal what was written.

The body of the officer was moved to Bondo sub-county hospital mortuary awaiting a post-mortem as investigations into the matter continue.
